CJS shouldn't have been canceled. Imagine getting cancelled because you portrayed something you’re not lol. I wonder how Kevin Nash got by with portraying a Diesel? Or Doink a clown? Yokozuna etc. I have a solution. Release "Jay Strongbow" no "Chief," no headdress, no Tomahawk in 2 pack with Tatanka who he worked with. Tatanka comes with a 2nd headdress for special occasions. |

RvD shouldn’t have been canceled as well I understood the RVD one a LITTTLE more after reading up on the history. Something funny? A Retro of the Air Jordan 12 was released BASED on that flag...in fact...a whole Aesthetical aspect of the Air Jordan 12 was BASED on that flag. |

Yeah I remember those One of my favorite model of the shoe (and the first pair of Current Jordan's I ever bought on my own with my first paycheck...Summer of '97, the Black/Red 12s.) The little leather ripples are based on that flag. After learning about Nanking and stuff like that...it's pretty understandable. Chief Jay they should have just repackaged eventually without the "Chief" and the Headdress and just as "Jay Strongbow" to at least make those of us that want a new name happy. It also makes me question the already thread slim chance of us getting Wahoo McDaniel...yes...I REALLY want a Wahoo McDaniel figure. |

CJS shouldn't have been canceled. The worse part is Stongbow took the moniker in honor of the man that trained him, Chief Don Eagle...He literally had the blessing of a former Native American wrestler and Mattel still cancelled it because a couple online twits got offended. If Don Eagle, Chris Chavis & Wahoo McDaniel are all ok with Scarpa being Stongbow then I dont know why a bunch of whiny online saltines should keep it from happening! |

I have to say they have been decently stocked in the UK at Smyths. It looks a bit worrying sometimes with their online stock checker (which is not always accurate) and you do have to be relatively quick to pre-order or order online if you don't want to go in store, but i generally cant complain and have all the MNW elites that I want at RRP. The only issue on this side of the pond is we don't have any access to the UEs. Apart from wave 2. Terribly stocked. Wave 3 - more than well-stocked. |

Plus it's not like people are mad because they won't make one or he isn't signed. They planned, produced and shipped the figure then canceled. I also don't get why some feel the need to weirdly gatekeep the cancelation being the right call |

You're a big, S-A-W-F-T loser if you are. |

I was looking at Mattel’s 98 Booker and while it’s probably ![]() going to be my favorite release as of lately (besides jeans DDP)… I couldn’t help but notice that the straps on the boots look a little short. I hope Mattel could fix them and elongate the straps because this figure is a candidate for figure of the year imo. The straps should go closer to the sides of the boots luchacentral.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7679.jpg  I'm sorry, but I've seen many-a-nit pick-critique on the Boards, and this takes the cake. Definitely can't dig this one, but I will say that you are not a sucka. |

Definitely can't dig this one, but I will say that you are not a sucka. That’s cool, but this is a figure that I and a couple of users here have been pushing for YEARS. His boots imo, were an integral part of this attire and I’ve watched many matches just to confirm the details. Pretty much every customizer I’ve seen has gotten the straps right. How come a company who has all of WWE’s resources can’t get the boots right? You could also see some buckles too on the sides (from reference pics). I’m bringing this up because the figure is still in proto stages and maybe Mattel could just fix this detail. This is one of my most anticipated releases of all time. The Booker T community has spoken. NOW CAN YOU DIG THAT SUCKAAAAAA?! |
